Ballwin, MO – June 24, 2024
IMPACT Strategies, Inc. announces the completion of its construction management work on the new The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis – West County in Ballwin, Missouri. Encompass Health Corporation and BJC HealthCare celebrated with a ribbon cutting ceremony with numerous honored guests in May 2024.
This inpatient rehabilitation hospital is an expansion of the current joint venture between Encompass Health and BJC HealthCare, which already includes three hospitals known as The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis, The Rehabilitation Institute of Southern Illinois and The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis located in St. Peters. IMPACT Strategies previously completed the facility in 2021 for Encompass Health and BJC HealthCare located in Shiloh, Illinois. The recently completed hospital in Ballwin started accepting patients at the end of May and is offering comprehensive rehabilitation services including physical, occupational and speech therapies.
Under the design guidance of Gresham Smith, the one-story building contains 47,000 square feet of acute rehabilitation care with forty private inpatient rooms, a kitchen, dining room, exercise room, pharmacy, therapy gym, dialysis room, and therapy courtyard. Prefabrication and modularized technologies provided great efficiencies in our construction schedule, along with enhanced quality control and on-site safety of our trades men and women.
“We are excited to have completed our second rehabilitation hospital for Encompass Health and BJC HealthCare. It’s rewarding to see this great facility open to serve the West County area and know that it will be a tremendous asset for the community.” said Mark Hinrichs, president of IMPACT Strategies.
